Main Street, Warkworth

Horse drawn sleighs, log sawing competitions and pancake breakfasts are just a few of the events that draw thousands to Sandy Flat Sugar Bush the second full weekend of March. In the village, craft and antique shows and street events provide a festive air.

Millennium Lilac Trail

A thirty day celebration of the lilac showcasing many rare lilac varieties. Opening festivities take place during the last weekend of May and are packed with events and activities for the entire family.

The Donnybrook started in 1958 and has developed into the most anticipated social event of the year. The annual auction is Northumberland County’s largest Reduce, Recycle and Reuse event and is held on the third Saturday of June at the Percy Arena and Community Centre.
